The Nevada Desert is hot and venturesome - characteristics it shares with the Reno-Fernley Raceway. The longest street circuit in the American West can be driven in 15 extremely challenging configurations. The quarter of a mile drag strip is a matter of course for those bold enough. A horsepower-bound retreat in the midst of dusty, rocky hills and the scent of petrol.

In recent years, the safety measures and circuit standard have been made considerably more professional and the Reno-Fernley Raceway has become a popular venue for car and bike races. An undulating track is a particular feature of this circuit, which is regularly frequented by clubs and amateur racing drivers.
